Dogs should not stay outside in hot weather for too long. When temperatures rise above 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, they should not stay outside for more than 10-15 minutes. It is important to provide plenty of shade and access to fresh cool water to help your pet stay cool. If your dog is panting heavily and looks uncomfortable, it is best to bring them indoors and cool them down with a cool wet towel.

However, take extra caution when temperatures rise above this, as this is when heatstroke and other health risks become a possibility.
